Coral Football Jackpot’s top prize in excess of £250k

Brighton v Charlton (Away win)
Charlton will head into this exciting and potentially high-scoring clash having not yet suffered a defeat in the Championship this term. This should see them over the line against the Seagulls, who have lost two of their three scorers from last season’s victory over the Addicks.

Derby v Ipswich (Draw)
The Tractor Boys do seem to travel well to Pride Park, so we can expect an open game and clash of styles here. A draw, although perhaps not as enthralling as 4-4 played out in the East Midlands last term, looks likely again.

Fulham v Cardiff (Away win)
The Bluebirds are in fantastic form, with four wins from six games in all competitions. They should have too much for Felix Magath’s men, who have lost four Championship matches on the trot. Cardiff also hold the recent head-to-head record after doing a league double over the Cottagers last campaign.

Leeds v Bolton (Draw)
These two relegation strugglers are facing a six-pointer already, but expect a share of the spoils here. Leeds’ new signings need time to gel, while Bolton will be over-reliant on loan signing Joe Mason.

Aberdeen v Partick Thistle (Home win)
Derek McInnes’ Dons were strong against this opposition last term, and should be so again here to kickstart their season. Thistle have made a mixed start to the season, and this New Firm team can capitalise on that.

Hamilton v Ross County (Home win)
High-flying Hamilton should have more than enough for early basement occupiers Ross County, who have sacked their father and son team of manager and director of football. Academical sit second, and have talents like Alister Crawford and veteran striker Jason Scotland that will fire them past this lowly opposition.

Everton v Chelsea (Draw)
The Toffees have an excellent recent home record against heavyweights Chelsea, only losing at Goodison twice in their six most recent Premier League clashes. Roberto Martinez’s men beat the Blues 1-0 last season, with Chelsea taking the spoils at Stamford Bridge, so this will likely be a close encounter.

Aston Villa v Hull (Draw)
A goalless stalemate could be the most likely result here, with both teams proving hard to beat in their opening two fixtures. Although James Chester could be a big miss for the Tigers, Steve Bruce will aim to replace him with enough steel to hold off a Villa challenge.

Tottenham v Liverpool (Home win)
Spurs look rejuvenated this term under new boss Mauricio Pochettino and, having sorted out defensive frailties from last season, could have enough to stifle the Reds, who exhibited problems at the back against Man City. It will take a while for Brendan Rodgers to bed in new recruits, while Spurs are high on confidence after their 4-0 dismantling of QPR. Expect new boy Mario Balotelli to feature for Liverpool, though Pochettino will have a plan to frustrate the temperamental Italian.

Leicester v Arsenal (Away win)
Despite injury to Olivier Giroud, who has a broken leg, the Gunners should have enough to beat the Foxes, though they can’t afford not to take them seriously. In Leonardo Ulloa the East Midlands outfit have a striker who can cause problems from set pieces, so Arsenal need to be switched on.
